New Mexico Deputy Insurance Superintendent Ruiz Is Officially Fired
I wrote about the apparent firing of New Mexico Deputy Insurance Superintendent Joe Ruiz in a recent post and now he is officially fired.  According to insurancejournal.com “New Mexico’s Public Regulation Commission (PRC) fired Ruiz on Monday formalizing an action that was initiated last week.”

His lawyer, Ron Morgan, claims, “the PRC terminated his client “without offering to discuss the problem or give even one reason for the action.”  Morgan went on to say, “This arbitrary use of government power leaves Mr. Ruiz with few choices to disprove any false statements made about him.”

I do not know his culpability but it seems there was a reason for his being fired.  He was thought to have “solicited charitable donations from a company that faced fines from regulators.”  It appears he was not formally charged with a crime but the PRC felt there was enough evidence to fire him. 

For those of you living in New Mexico what is your take on the firing of Mr. Ruiz?
